The D-backs and Rockies played on the most picturesque field for the Mexico Series

This weekend, the D-backs and Rockies headed down to Monterrey for the first of three series that will take place in Mexico this year. Surely the first thing you'll notice when checking out the game is how absolutely gorgeous the view was. Just look at the Cerro de la Silla looming over the field like heaven on earth:

But the view wasn't the only reason to tune in. After all, there were tacos! Delicious, delicious tacos.

The field looked sharp. Check out the gorgeous logo drawing on the colors of the Mexican flag:

Monterrey baseball fans got to see Major League action up close:

Luis Gonzalez made the trip:

Vinny Castilla, the all-time Mexican home run leader in the Majors, was on hand for the festivities:

He got to throw out the first pitch, too:

Oh yeah, and there was a game to play.

Roberto Ramos, who hails from Hermosillo and smashed 32 homers in the Minors last year, snuck one over the left-field fence in Saturday's game:

The Rockies went on to win, 5-1, and I'm sorry, but just look at this view again. It looks like something out of a fantasy novel:

Sunday's game featured this to-the-very-back-of-the-concourse home run from Ildemaro Vargas.

That helped the D-backs to a 5-2 win in the second game.The fans didn't seem to care who won or lost, though. Because this was a baseball party:

We'll now be anxiously waiting for the Reds and Cardinals to head to Monterrey for two regular-season games on April 13-14.
